I hate that we sent a 2nd round pick back for his overage year.
Prospect Info: Leafs 2018 2nd Rd Draft Pick - Sean Durzi (6'0 196lbs, RD , Owen Sound Attack)

Probably wouldn't be if we had less depth on the Marlies. As it is we're trying to find time to get Sandin worked in there now with everyone else we already have.
I'd be more concerned if we had no AHL depth and sent him back.
This is a big season for him though as he'll be expected to earn that Marlie ice time next season.

Nope. He has to play the season there until his team is eliminated as far as I know.
Owen Sound would have to release him pretty much.
Assuming he stays above Point per game..
Starting from the top, minimum ppg for overage defensemen in the O, post 04 lockout

3x nobody, 1x Jury out/ good prospect, 1x 230gp nhl dman, 2 x top 4 dman. Pretty good hit rate. Favourable to that of a late 2nd.

Just providing more info to what you said.
So people get a better idea of his age. Born Oct 21/98
Not questioning you.
He actually looked decent in camp too but fell victim to the logjam of young D destined for the Marlies, especially with Sandin status up in the air at the tine( he eventually joined the Marlies which is what the Leafs wanted)
Probably too good for junior at the moment but he hopefully learned some lessons to prepare him for the pro game that he can work on. I just hope he doesnt fall into bad junior habits.

He has been playing hockey in Canada since bantam, why would he now go back to Russia as soon as he gets drafted?

I don't think a 18 year old 12 goal OHL scorer is a threat to bolt to the KHL, do you really think that?
Menzinger

I think management likely thought there was a chance of that, especially if he went though a bo development.
They’ve already learned with Korshkov that once a guy starts to earn money in the KHL it can be difficult to get them to come over.
If you believe in the prospect it can be worth it to lock him into the Leafs development system than gamble they can maybe sign him later
That only holds true for 3rd/4th line players. If Korshkov showed top6 potential he would have come to NA by now
Menzinger

I think it has more to to do with being guaranteed an NHL roster spot or not.
Leafs clearly would want Korshkov to play in the AHL first, and I don’t think that has much interest to guys who’d rather play in 1) a better league for 2) more money than a minors salary.

KHL Russians don't come over until they're guaranteed NHL players. See, Kuznetsov, Tarasenko, Panarin. SDA is already acclimated to North American culture. He's not a flight risk and the contract was a fiscal reward for a strong camp.
